Looking back on 2015, it has been a bit of a crazy year for me, doing more trips than I've ever done before, surely breaking my record of riding the most coasters and going to the most theme parks in a year, going to places where I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd ever be able to go, and...

Yeah, would definitely be up for a meet if I do ever make it there. Really can't see myself making it for a few more years at least though. :(

My brother is getting married in Jamaica in April, which I really want to go to, so that's likely going to be a week relaxing there. Other than that, I've got a bit of a list of places which I'd really like to go to, but nothing's for sure, and definitely won't get all done next year: -...

I think I've seen that Miniatur Wunderland airport on a Facebook video; it looks fascinating. Hansa Park looks excellent, and definitely want to get there myself soon!

The Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, Dexter's Lab, Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo, Futurama, Powerpuff Girls, Pokemon, Dragon Ball, Animaniacs, Recess, Lloyd in Space, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Loony Tunes, Duck Dodgers, Wacky Races, Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines, The Flintstones...

Great reports Serena and Jordan. It was a true surprise and pleasure that you managed to come on the trip after all, Serena; glad to hear you had a fab time even if your trip was short but sweet. :) I had an absolute fab time, and as usual with these international trips travelling as friends...

Walking down the sweet aisle in your local supermarket, and there you see it; three packs of sweets for £1. Obviously, you bypass the dolly mixture as they're vile, and who the hell buys supermarket-brand chocolate buttons and gummies? Milk bottles are good, but you hardly get any in a bag...

Ride PoVs for most of the world's best rides and roller coasters can easily be accessible on YouTube, giving you an opportunity to watch rides which you might never have the opportunity to ride, or even watch rides if you are planning to visit the park in a kind of "try before you buy" scenario...

Not in order, but here are my top 10 airtime moments which I can remember: Boulder Dash, Lake Compounce - The constant bunny hops on the final stretch of the ride are unforgettable. Phoenix, Knoebels - My ass was barely in the seat the whole way round, but the double-down into the double-up...

The two that immediately come to mind are Kings Dominion and Indiana Beach. Both are vile places which I hated with quite a passion... Although saying that, Kings Dominion does have a few creds that I need... In the UK, I'd be really hard pushed to go back to either Flamingo Land or Oakwood.

In the 2010 general election, I voted Liberal Democrat nationally and Labour locally. This time around I'm very much undecided, but I'm really struggling to see how I'm going to vote for the Conservatives. The Greens and UKIP are totally out of the question for me, and I'd never vote for...

Not so much from an enthusiast point of view, as there are only a handful of people who love it, but I seem to find a lot of the general public love Saw at Thorpe Park... It's just so bleh, with it's awkwardly bulky restraints that cut into your arms and legs, and it's headache-inducing...

Hey guys, so I've just got off the phone for a conference call with Nick Varney, Andrew Carr, David Bridgford, Mark Fisher, and Nick Mackenzie, and there were some pretty interesting developments: - Secret Weapon 8 has been confirmed to be a wooden Aquatrax through the valley. - Replacing Blade...

No need for the spite reminder! :P I'd love to get back to Australia one day, just for a holiday rather than study, and with actually a way of getting around (i.e. go with someone who can drive) to do all the things I missed!

I didn't even know what clam chowder looked like before this topic. :?
